Solid hardcover. ; "President Jimmy Carter's independent termination of the 1954 Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States and Taiwan resurrected the long-standing, and largely unresolved, controversy over the locus of the constitutional authority to terminate treaties. Indeed, the resulting lawsuit, Goldwater v Carter, presented the first direct challenge to the President's authority to terminate treaties. The Supreme Court, however, did not reach the merits of this question. Instead, it dismissed the case as "nonjusticiable," bypassing an opportunity to rule on the constitutionality of the President's unilateral treaty termination." Contents: Preface; Notes; I.
